The <br />most notable item is the proposed tax levy which <br />equates to $164,494 in additional revenue over last <br />year’s levy. Both Plan Check Fees and Plan <br />Review/Building Permit Revenues have been <br />increased based on trends. Fines and Forfeits have <br />been increased as we had a decrease in past years with <br />the major road construction, but we are seeing <br />increases now that major highways are again open. <br /> <br />Expenditures <br /> <br />Public Safety is increased by $86,118 for increases in the Fire Contract ($28,173, 6.54%), <br />Sheriff’s Contract ($48,829, 4.71%), and Dispatch ($9,116, 15.1%). <br /> <br />Finance and Administrative Services is proposing to <br />add back in the intern positions that were cut in 2014 <br />which is 0.75 FTE. TCAAP expenditures were <br />increased for Other Professional Services, <br />Administration reduced Other Professional Services by <br />$8,000 to help offset. Due to the new calculations by <br />the LMCIT, insurance costs have been adjusted based <br />on 2014 actuals and reduced by $11,000.
